The owner of a construction company died after being pinned by a collapsed crane in Midtown, authorities said.
Trevor Loftus, 40, was trapped against the flatbed of a truck when the arm of a boom crane suddenly collapsed on a construction site at 219 East 44 Street at 11:44 a.m.
Loftus, the owner of Kenry Contracting Inc., noticed the machine’s hydraulic system was leaking from a hose in the bed of the truck, police said. As he was attempting to fix it, the hose burst, causing the crane to collapse on top of him, according to police.
